Wearing This Ugly Christmas Sweater From My Black Clothing Can Change Lives
The “ugly” but uplifting and in your face Christmas sweater is inspired by the tragic events that occurred in 2020 with the killing of unarmed African Americans. The sweater represents the continued fight for justice for the lives lost and a reminder that our fight for justice is not over.
To show support for those who are wrongfully persecuted, My Black Clothing is donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Christmas sweater to the Innocence Project.
The Innocence Project helps exonerate those wrongfully convicted and reforms the criminal justice system to prevent future injustice. My Black Clothing has supported them proudly in 2020 and they want to continue to do so.
My Black Clothing is Black Owned
My Black Clothing is a Black-owned clothing apparel company whose main goal is to empower Black people through empowering phrases! A unique part of their shirts is the tribal pattern in the word “Black”.
This is symbolic of the different cultures, traditions, talents, and features, that contribute to making African Americans an important part of society.
A Chat with the Founder
BGA: Why did you create My Black Clothing?
Kwame: I created My Black Clothing as an initiative to empower Black men and women with bold statements, and also give back to the community through donations. A big part of creating this brand is ensuring that the world recognizes Black men and women as equally capable in every aspect of life as everyone else. This is why most of our shirts have the phrase “Black” followed by an empowering message. For example, Black Fathers Matter and Black and Educated.
BGA: What makes you different from other clothing companies that cater to Black causes/people?
Kwame: Even though we are a small company, our main purpose is to give back. In June 2020 we proudly gave back to Black Lives Matter and the Innocence Project to help with the fight against police brutality. On Dec 25, 2020, we plan on donating proceeds to the Innocence Project for every “ All I Want For Christmas Is Justice for Black Lives” sweater sold. Our goal in 2021 is to have a collection of shirts or sweaters that gives back in donations with every sale, to different causes advocating for minorities in America. We want our customers to know that they are truly making a difference with each item bought from us.
BGA: 80% of your customers are Black women. What’s the most popular tee in the Black Women Shirts and Sweaters category?
Kwame: In the Black Women Shirts & Sweaters category, our most popular tees are the Black Always Looked This Good sweater, Rooting for Everybody Black t shirt, our Black Fathers Matter t shirt makes a great gift to Black fathers, and our All I Want For Christmas Is Justice for Black Lives sweater has been grabbing the attention of many as gifts for the holidays.
